It has been a volatile month. But, the market still ended higher for the month. Dip-buyers had been active on pullbacks and kept the driving the market higher. We traded on both sides this month, with mixed results, as I was perhaps too cautious on the upside. Here are the closed trades for the month:

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said, "The market has rallied for 3 months straight and the risk is now on the upside..." It seemed like the market was going to break the recent resistance levels, pushing higher from Monday to Thursday. But, on Friday, we saw a big drop, and the market ended lower for the week. We'll review the past week further in next week's Market Forecast, this evening.
I'll be back shortly...
Good night and HappyTrading! ™
